The Gallyry was founded and ran by Ally Faughnan from 2019 to 2021. After researching the (lack of) representation of women in arts journalism, Ally decided to create an online magazine dedicated to championing women in the arts.

​

As the COVID-19 panedemic hit, Ally noticed the need for creatives to collaborate and showcase their work online. The Gallyry evolved to focus on providing a platform for emerging creatives, keeping its support for women and non-binary people at the heart of its mission.

Within its first year, the magazine grew a community of 75+ contributing writers, publishing weekly interviews, artist spotlight features, opinion pieces, and reviews. The Gallyry later evolved to focus on platforming emerging creatives through interviews.

The studio was launched as a creative agency to collaborate with emerging creatives and platforms. The Gallyry worked on a range of projects including a creative careers guide, online exhibition, and more.
